The actress explained that while money, influence and connections are important, they should not overshadow the need to act with conscience and sincerity.

She appealed to her colleagues in the entertainment industry and Nigerians at large to reflect deeply and do the right thing, emphasising that ignoring such issues could one day affect everyone directly.

"Above all, let us allow our conscience lead us and let us all try to do the right thing. Money is important too. Connections, influence, are extremely important. But if we can at least for once try and allow our conscience lead us."

Aiyeola emphasised that she was not chasing clout and had not been active on social media, but felt compelled to speak because of the pain and frustration she experiences when such attacks occur.

She reminded Nigerians that planning for the future of their children and generations to come requires confronting these realities now.

She ended her message by urging colleagues and citizens to use their platforms positively and allow conscience to lead them in supporting the right causes.

"When I say we still have sensible Yorubas, she's one of them. Unlike people who keep defending the indefensible. The All Progressives Congress has brought Nigerians nothing but insecurity, hunger and corruption. At what point will Nigerians wake up, drop tribal loyalty and admit the truth? This country deserves better."
